Checking if a point is inside a polygon

I would suggest using the Path class from matplotlib import matplotlib.path as mplPath import numpy as np poly = [190, 50, 500, 310] bbPath = mplPath.Path(np.array([[poly[0], poly[1]], [poly[1], poly[2]], [poly[2], poly[3]], [poly[3], poly[0]]])) bbPath.contains_point((200, 100)) (There is also a contains_points function if you want to test for multiple points)

Find if point lies on line segment

Find the distance of point P from both the line end points A, B. If AB = AP + PB, then P lies on the line segment AB. AB = sqrt((x2-x1)*(x2-x1)+(y2-y1)*(y2-y1)+(z2-z1)*(z2-z1)); AP = sqrt((x-x1)*(x-x1)+(y-y1)*(y-y1)+(z-z1)*(z-z1)); PB = sqrt((x2-x)*(x2-x)+(y2-y)*(y2-y)+(z2-z)*(z2-z)); if(AB == AP + PB) return true;

Why is the ELF execution entry point virtual address of the form 0x80xxxxx and not zero 0x0?

As Mads pointed out, in order to catch most accesses through null pointers, Unix-like systems tend to make the page at address zero “unmapped”. Thus, accesses immediately trigger a CPU exception, in other words a segfault. This is quite better than letting the application go rogue. The exception vector table, however, can be at any … Read more
